Robbins (2008) diz que é fácil julgar outras pessoas se presumimos que elas são parecidas conosco. por exemplo, se você quer desafios e responsabilidades em seu trabalho, você supõe que os outros querem o mesmo. ou ainda, se você é honesto e confiável, toma como verdade que outras pessoas são igualmente honestas e confiáveis. essa tendência de atribuir as próprias características a outras pessoas é denominada: a) percepção seletiva b) projeção c) efeito de halo d) estereótipo e) efeito contraste
